Challenging the psychiatry–neurology divide: the case of autoimmune encephalitis
(2022-03)A new case series describes a cohort of individuals with severe psychiatric presentations who were diagnosed with ‘possible’ or ‘probable’ autoimmune encephalitis on the basis of neurological examination. Many participants ... -
The relationship between short- and long-term memory is preserved across the age range
(2022-06)The aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the changes in the relationship between short- and long-term memory with age. In two experiments, participants across the age-range were tested on contextual-spatial ... -
Investigating Different Levels of Bimanual Interaction With a Novel Motor Learning Task: A Behavioural and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Study
(2021-11)In everyday life, we perform countless movements with our hands. Some, such as writing, drawing, or eating with chopsticks, require one hand alone, whereas others require the skilled interaction of both hands. For bimanual ... -
A between-task consequence of temporal expectations
(2021-11)In everyday life, we often anticipate the timing of one upcoming task or event while actively engaging in another. Here, we investigated temporal expectations within such a multi-task scenario. In a visual working-memory ... -
Toward a neurobiology of internal selective attention
(2021-07)A recent study in non-human primates (NHPs) by Panichello and Buschman brings the investigation of selective attention within visual working memory to the systems and cellular neuroscience levels. We reflect on this ... -
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
(2021-05)Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening tasks is a ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal expectations about external events can help ... -
Be there on time: Spatial-temporal regularities guide young children’s attention in dynamic environments
(2020-12)It is believed that children have difficulties in guiding attention while facing distraction. However, developmental accounts of spatial attention rely on traditional search designs using static displays. ... -
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory
(2020-12)Working memory (WM) enables temporary storage and manipulation of information,1 supporting tasks that require bridging between perception and subsequent behavior. Its properties, such as its capacity, have been thoroughly ... -
A common neural network architecture for visual search and working memory
(2020-09)Visual search and working memory (WM) are tightly linked cognitive processes. Theories of attentional selection assume that WM plays an important role in top-down guided visual search. However, computational models of ... -
Effect of glucose and sucrose on cognition in healthy humans: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional studies
(2020-06)Context: Evidence suggests that plasma glucose levels may influence cognitive performance, but this has not been systematically reviewed and quantified. Objective: The aim of this review was to investigate the potential ... -
Sleep duration over 28 years, cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure: a prospective cohort study
(2020-01)Study Objectives To examine the association between sleep duration trajectories over 28 years and measures of cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure. We hypothesize that consistently meeting sleep ... -
Whole-brain white matter organization, intelligence, and educational attainment
(2019-03)General cognitive ability, sometimes referred to as intelligence, is associated with educational attainment throughout childhood. Most studies that have explored the neural correlates of intelligence in childhood focus ... -
A Structural Brain Network of Genetic Vulnerability to Psychiatric Illness
(2020-05)Psychiatry is undergoing a paradigm shift from the acceptance of distinct diagnoses to a representation of psychiatric illness that crosses diagnostic boundaries. How this transition is supported by a shared neurobiology ... -
When Helping is Risky: Behavioral and Neurobiological Mechanisms of Prosocial Decisions Entailing Risk.
(2020-03)Helping others can entail risks. Doctors that treat infectious patients may risk their own health, intervening in a fight can lead to injury, and organ donations can lead to medical complications. When helping others comes ... -
Alcohol consumption is associated with reduced creatine levels in the hippocampus of older adults
(2019-11)Besides its well established susceptibility to ageing, the hippocampus has also been shown to be affected by alcohol consumption. Proton spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the hippocampus, particularly at high-field 7T MRI, may ... -
Are People Ready for Personalized Brain Health? Perspectives of Research Participants in the Lifebrain Consortium
(2019-11)Background and Objectives A healthy brain is central to physical and mental well-being. In this multi-site, qualitative study, we investigated views and attitudes of adult participants in brain research studies on the ... -
The autoantibody-mediated encephalitides: from clinical observations to molecular pathogenesis
(2019-10)The autoimmune encephalitis (AE) syndromes have been characterised by the detection of autoantibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid which target the extracellular domains of specific neuroglial antigens. The clinical ... -
Unimodal and bimodal access to sensory working memories by auditory and visual impulses
(2019-11)It is unclear to what extent sensory processing areas are involved in the maintenance of sensory information in working memory (WM). Previous studies have thus far relied on finding neural activity in the corresponding ... -
Modulation of the pupillary response by the content of visual working memory
(2019-09)Studies of selective attention during perception have revealed modulation of the pupillary response according to the brightness of task-relevant (attended) vs. -irrelevant (unattended) stimuli within a visual display. ... -
Visual fixation patterns during economic choice reflect covert valuation processes that emerge with learning
(2019-10)Visual fixations play a vital role in decision making. Recent studies have demonstrated that the longer subjects fixate an option, the more likely they are to choose it. However, the role of evaluating stimuli covertly ...
